Although the pre: nt exhibition nay lack isitor by its s The canvas 1s a large one, and ranks with the artist’s most succi ful works. The Secretary is shown seated, with a pair of gold-rimmed spectacles held carelessly in his right hand, while his left rests easily on the carved arm of the low-backed chair. ‘ace is fresh and full of life. The detail of the chair arm is carefully studied, and rather solidifies the general handling of the figure, which is broadly modeled. Mr. Messer is represented by three can- vases. The largest one, “Sham Ledges, is one of the most successful landscapes shown. In a quiet evening sky low-toned clouds melt downward into the mellow horizon colors of qualified lemon and orange. To the left of a sturdy oak tree, which crowns a sloping hijtop in the middle distance, hangs the pale crescent of a new moon. The sentiment of evening is further suggested in the wreathy smoke from a dis- tant nestling farm house, in the browsing sheep and in the group of figures resting beneath the spreading branches of the trees. There is a poetic feeling over all, happily expressed without the sacrifice of certain elements of solidity which must be observed in the treatment of so large a picture. Of Mr. Messer’s other works the first is a low- toned evening study, with a warm fore- ground and a luminous cloud-broken sky. The other, “Anacostia Meadows,” shows a line of tall trees in the middle ground, be- yond which is a stretch of sunlit field stretching toward rolling hills in the dis- tance In the alcoves Prince Troubetz- koy’s freely d portrait of a boy, Miss Mueden’s st que study of a young wo- man, Mr. Moser’s large pastel landscape and two in oil by Carl Weller, together with Mr. Siebert’s figure pictare, occupy sitions. Prince ‘Troubetzkoy nted in the first gallery by a hly colored panel portrait, which pos- sesses some admirable qualities, but lacks the touch of freedom and personality which marks his canvas mentioned above. This work is one of the most notable in the ex- hibition. A fresh-faced bare-neaded boy, and thrust into his trousers pock- at in the stern sheets of a yacht. -The warm coloring of the face, aglow from the wind, contrasts with the whtte mass of a heavy sweater which he kground is the receding of the sea and a rolling clouded sky, and largely painted. The whole bears an individual stamp, is full nfidence and bears the breath of the Mueden’s canvas is an impressive and serious work. A young woman, draped in blue-toned white, is imposed against a simple background painted in a low key. The figure is sympathetically handled and impresses the observer with a feeling of its dignity and repose. The artist could hardly be better represented than by this picture, which receives high praise from her fellow s Mueden also exhibits a | small freshly painted head of a little girl. Mr. Moser’s large pastel landscape is a well-studied work and shows the artist’s in- timate knowledge of nature. It represents a broad stretch of fieldsand rolling hills, and in the foreground a quiet sheet of water re- flects a growth of autumn-touched trees and the coo! gray of a mass of moss-cov- ered rocks along its velvety margin. A low range of gray hills marks the horizon, and a crifting quiet sky lends an air of mystery to the body of the picture, which is almost anatomical {n its wealth of suggested de- tail. Mr. Moser also shows a dainty oll portrait of a young girl with dark hair and an olive complexion. She wears a soft- textured gown of pink, and stands easily with her hands behind her against a back- ground of tender color, across which sweep blossom-laden boughs, silvery in tone, and painted in a manner not to detract from the importance of the figure. It is a picture which will be readily understood and much admired. Of Mr. Weller's two landscapes the larger one is simple in composition, but full of air and general outdoor feeling. In the fore- ground a grassy meadow meets a broken line of low, scrubby trees across the middie distance, and against this green mass of foliage two cows are broadly painted. The distance is marked by a wooded hill, A PORTRAIT, Prince Troubetakoy. Photograph by Bachrach Capitol Hill Branch.

It occupies the ceniral position at the extreme end of the gallery. and the sky, which ts especlally well done, broad and sweeping, completes the quiet harmony of the picture. Mr. Weller’s other canvas 1s an evening effect, warm and pee in tone, and painted with much eeling. Of Mr. Max’ Weyl's five canvases the most important is a study of evening qual- ities near Warm Springs, Va. A luminous yellow sky pierced by ‘a crescent moon comes sharply against the deep blue of a distant ridge and colors the roiling hifis which stretch toward the foreground.

Mr. Weyl’s largest canvas shows a shadowed road in the foreground, which runs between a gray sun-flecked wall on the left and a quiet pool on the right, past a group. of gnarled trees in the middle ground and loses itself in the sunny fields beyond. His other two large pictures, while interesting to the student, are not so well suited for exhibition. His smaliest canvas, however, is most attractive and very strongly painted fer so small a pic- ture. The sandy road, which winds past a broken tree-lined bank, and the direct treat- ment of the distant fields and sky make an A Portrait, J. H. Moser. Photograph by Bachrach. extremely striking composition, almost decorative in effect. Mr. Siebert’s picture of “The Flute Player’ is _an_ interesting and directly painted study of an interior, in which the figure is rather broadly handled against a background, showing an old mahogany stand, capped with books and other still- life objects, and painted in an effective and skillful way, in that it does not affect the feeling of repose and attention which is the characteristic of composition. Mr. Siebert's other works, four in number, are represen- tative examples of his abil The most notable, a * y Day,” is a serious study of field and sky, literal and uncompromis- ing in treatment and subject, the work of the student who believes what he sees and interprets without affectation. His “ Afternoon on the Canal” and a study of flowers are marked by the same spirit of truth and directness. Mr. Robert Coleman Child contributes four pictures to the exhibition—three oils and one pastel. The largest is a rocky hill- side covered with scrubby brush and vines, and standing strongly against the sky. It conveys the feeling that the sea must be breaking just beyond. The picture is painted with a broad feeling for form and is rich in color. Another smaller canvas Is a rocky bit of coast scenery, with a glimpse of the distant sea line beyond. In another a stretch of coast road near Glou- cester, Mass., winds seaward through a stony field flashed by the late afternoon sun. Mr. Child's pastel is an evening study, and while it is well felt and is generaliy pleasing, it lacks the strength and certainty of his other pictures. Mrs. Jane Bridgham Child contributes this year but a single picture, a study of a head in pastel, in which the dazzling white- the figure is strongly contrasted with the averted head. It is to be regretted that this very able artist is not more conspicuously repre- sented, for, while the picture in question is careful and serious work, it is not what the art-loving public would most desire at her hands. Mr. E. L. Morse, among the portrait painters, shows a pastel portrait of his wife, a delightfully handled sketch por- trait of Prof. Gussow, and a study in light and shadow of an old man who stands near a@ window through gbich the light illumi- nates his faee and hands, and plays about the porcelain vase which he is carefully examining. Mr. Morse shows two other portraits, one of Justice Shiras and a brown-toned study of a boy. Mr. Henry Floyd is represented by a sin- gle portrait—a young woman reclining in a high-backed chair, as though she were meditating over the book which she holds closed in her lap. Mr. E, H. Miller’s two canvases are a carefully painted portrait of a lady in a white and gold gown and a bust portrait of the poet Longfellow. A little study by Spencer Nichols is worthy of close attention. A young girl in @ soft blue and red dress sits reading be- fore an old-fashioned mirror, in which she is reflected. It is a strong and carefully studied effort. Mr. Nichols also contributes an evening landscape, in which a rising moon over the tree-clad hills is softly re- fiected in a meadow stream.
